  • Bullshit.

    Either you're blatantly lying or got your education from the equivalent of a dumpster.

    If the latter, you should request a refund because it's quite clear none of your professors know literally anything about what they're teaching or felt bad about having someone so incompetent in their class that they gave you a free pass.

    As someone with a environmental science/radiochemistry double major and several years into medical school with a specific focus on neurology, I have whole sale doubts about your comments and alleged qualifications.

  • I understand where you are coming from but the purpose of the free market doctrine is to allow both consumers and workers to choose where they buy from and where they work at.

    No one is forced, gun to head, to work at (X) location or buy at (X) location. If you believe you are worth more, you need to work somewhere that is willing to pay you what you're worth.

    I used to work the service industry and ended up getting my red seal as a chef and around the same time I got my red seal I abandoned the industry. I saw where it was going, I trained to make 5 star meals and then once working at a five star restaurant got paid minimum wage and treated like shit by both employer and customers alike.

    I took out loans and went to university and because I did this I will die in debt, but I will at least die having access to somewhat reasonable accommodations and food.

    My advice to anyone stuck in a similar situation as I was is to avoid college/university and get online accreditation and certification for network security or similar. You can practice the materials for free and when ready pay for the certification tests then leap from whatever unfavourable job to one that pays, in some cases, obscenely more than necessary.

  • I hope that works out for everyone that uses it but the key reason I ended up getting an electric vehicle after my ICE vehicle broke down was to avoid oil and gas prices, especially in regards to the continuing degradation of the geopolitical situation in the middle east where OPEC+ produces and transports more than 80% of the world supply of usable oil.

    I hated waking up and wondering if the dice roll would break my bank that day. Although my car ended up a fair bit more expensive than I had wanted, the vehicle has nearly paid for itself with all the charges I didn't have to pay at the pump.

    This isn't an endorsement for electric vehicles just a note of a positive side that I personally was able to avoid.

    If my country wasn't completely backwards and we had more nuclear facilities and less dependence on oil barons, I'd be happier, but the reality is not everyone has the ability to change over, and even I would still be using an ICE vehicle today if insurance didn't cover the rest of the price of my old car when my accident happened.

  • I haven't done a ton of research on the matter so definitely take this with a grain of salt but I have heard that the volt has been receiving pretty good reviews.

    I would say for sure that you'll want to investigate a TON before making your purchase, you do not want to end up in a tesla situation like I did where an update to the car after a lawsuit provides direct evidence that tesla lied to everyone about the range of the vehicles.

    The price/performance ratio on tesla vehicles made sense when they were still in development, but tesla is now one of the largest companies in the world and should not be allowed to screw their customers over like this anymore, but I feel the same way about most technology companies these days and the law, unfortunately, does not appear to agree.

  • So, a product that has been discontinued doesn't mean that it needs to lose software support, was the point I was trying to make. It would be nice if they still sold them but still good that the people that own them can continue to use them and are receiving security updates for them.

    I think it's important that companies like google, samsung, apple, etc are held to at least this standard where products don't need to be changed unless they actually break, rather than forcing software changes that break or reduce effectiveness of the product to try and force the consumer to produce e-waste and buy a new product.

    Nothing wrong with wanting new products, however that should be a personal decision made at a personal level by a consumer not one forced onto them by a company who designed products using the planned obsolescence doctrine.

  • Thank you for expressing your clear lack of understanding of the issue.

    Animals migrate, I understand it might be hard for you to know this as, given your statement here, your education is lacking, but they will always migrate somewhere where they can survive.

    And, wouldn't you know it, humans can migrate too.

    Also, given your statement indicating a clear lack of knowledge on the matter, the earth was objectively warmer prior to the snow age we're still in, and just because the snow age is ending doesn't indicate that life is going to end, it means anything that's not resilient enough to survive the changes will end, and everything else will continue as normal.

    It would behoove you to educate yourself on topics before you talk about them.

  • This is what happens in any major conflict when people aren't provided the means to critically think about the things they find online.

    This is a problem of education not just biased reporting and misinformation.

    Guaranteed there's not a single person 'radicalized' that has even a remote understanding of the history of the area and the conflicts therein

  • Lmao.

    Nothing like watching unions exhibit a complete lack of understanding of nuance, as usual. "I'm just going to say isreal bad because I've completely missed the boat on actually informing myself of the situation over there, but I want the brownie points from strangers to make myself feel good and pretend I'm a good person while contributing literally nothing positive to the situation. My whining and bitching is definitely going to stop the hamas terrorists from conducting terror attacks and raping innocent women and children and my whining will absolutely make sure isreal stops retaliating for the attacks on their people. No need to inform myself further on the nuance of the controlling government body of palestine being a terrorist organization, nor do I need to educate myself on the reality that the isreali government has less than 20% of the populations support! My backwater trash brain will soak up the praise of random idiots who also don't educate themselves on the history of the region so I can feel good about my absolutely terrible and bat shit decisions"

  • Now all disney needs to do is backdown from ruining every single major movie release and franchise and stop firing all of their most experienced animators and maybe we'll get decent entertainment from this god awful company again!

  • Wow, just like the cars!

    As someone who bought one of their cars the only real positive is that the charging network is available 24 hours a day and very prominent across most of my travel routes.

    Additionally, I would say wait out for this industry to get better since every single manufacturer of EV's is full of absolute horse shit in regards to range and safety, ESPECIALLY anything not coming from USA or Europe. Byd's are fucking death traps
